Science allows blind man to see wife for first time in 10 years, will give you serious feels

This is bound to bring a tear to your eye. A new form of bionic eye has allowed a man to see his wife for the first time in more than a decade.

As reported by The Guardian, 68-year-old Allen Zderad is able to see basic shapes and human forms again thanks to a prototype implant and prosthetic, known as Second Sight, put in place by physicians at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.

Zderad, who suffers from a degenerative eye disease, started to lose his sight 20 years ago before it disappeared almost entirely.

While the technology is still in its very earliest stages of development, miniaturisation and increasingly low component costs mean that future iterations could make a massive difference to people around the globe.
